I had been using Purity Made Simple by Philosophy, and liked it, but wanted something more reasonably priced. I needed a cleanser that would be gentle, remove makeup and not dry out my skin. I use Differin prescription product on my skin, and since Cetaphil is made by the same manufacturer, and I had heard good things about how gentle it is, I thought I'd give it a try. I was deeply disappointed. Cetaphil dried out my skin horribly, leaving it absolutely parched and dreadfully tight after rinsing it off. It stung my skin when I washed with it, smelled unpleasant and caused my skin to flake and peel the following day. The worst part was the hyper-oiliness that resulted from using it. My skin reacted to being dried out so badly by the Cetaphil by cranking oil production into high gear. By mid-afternoon I had a disgusting, nasty, visible oil slick alll over my face, and I have never had that problem before. The increased oil production caused acne, which had completely disappeared since I'd been using Differin. I couldn't use moisturizer because even though I desperately needed it after the Cetaphil dried out my skin, it added to the puddle of oil on my face that appeared in the afternoon. I have stopped using Cetaphil, and have gone back to Purity Made Simple by Philosophy. I'll never sacrifice quality for price again. I can't say anything good about this product. It was disasterous for my skin, and I'm really surprised by this. I do not recommend it to anyone.

I have been using this product for years. My dermatologist first introduced me to it, as I have extremely sensitive skin that is prone to allergic reactions and eczema. This cleanser is so gentle, yet effective, and does not strip your skin of moisture. I use an eye make-up remover, but Cetaphil is able to take off the rest - tinted moisturizer, pressed powder, blush, lipstick, etc. I have seen other name brands that offer cleansers for sensitive skin, but why bother trying it when Cetaphil works so well and is so reasonably priced? My husband now uses it too!

Cetaphil moisterizes the skin in a way that is quickly absorbed, leaves no sticky feeling and lasts for a long time. Never seen a better cream in my 70 odd years.

I've tried three bottles; the pump only worked on one. Plus, I still get acne.

Because I'm not supposed to use water on my skin-I use this product daily for cleansing my hands and face and am very pleased with the results. Both are clean and moisturized. Having a low thyroid and diabetes, my skin needs extra moisture and this does the job for me.

I'm in my mid-40s and have been using Cetaphil for 2-3 years to clean my face at night. I just rinse with warm water in the morning to prevent stripping of the natural oils in my face. I had been using Neutrogena Extra Gentle skin cleanser but once in my 40s was drying my skin too much. The Cetaphil is very gentle on my sensitive skin and does a good job of cleaning my face from daily city grime and the foundation and concealer I use. It won't take off long-wearing eye makeup so I use an eye makeup remover before washing with Cetaphil. There's no scent...zero. It's also much less expensive than the other drugstore skin cleansers and I find is a superior product except that it doesn't take off my eye makeup. I've also tried using cold cream since it removes eye makeup but the Cetaphil is better because it doesn't clog my pores the way cold cream does and leaves no residue.

I have sensitive skin and now I know why my dermatologist recommended Eucerin cleanser over this one. This cleanser doesn't clean well, leaves a film and sometimes cause pimples. Yes, I am an older customer,however, I don't like pimples at my age or filmy feeling skin. My skin is dry but I like for it to feel clean and soft not soft and filmy. I am now using Clinique's cleanser which makes my skin feel soft and clean not filmy. I would not recommend this product except maybe for people who have had plastic surgery or need an extra extra gentle cleansing.

None

I've read the raves for this product and figured I'd try it. I understand this would probably be wonderful for anyone with dry, and I mean super dry, skin. It might even be good for a person with Rosacea. It's very gentle. Too gentle. If you wear makeup, you should definitely look elsewhere. Same goes for those with acne.

This cleanser is gentle on my skin,, leaves it feeling smooth, and isnt hard to rinse off. It didnt clog my pores..
